Chapter 167: Su Ping's Request! Feifei's Repair!
Demon City, Advanced Beastmaster Academy.
Within the private villa of Saint Sang,
The woman sat cross-legged on the rooftop terrace.
Even though it was already deep into autumn, and winter was approaching, her courtyard remained lush with verdant greenery.
The woman sat woman sat there, and with each breath, the surrounding plants seemed to slowly stretch their branches and leaves, bathed in the morning sunlight, vibrant and dewy.
Finally, the woman slowly opened her eyes, and her indifferent pupils seemed to gaze at the rising sun in the sky without any discomfort or blinding glare.
At this moment, the woman's body trembled slightly.
Her body seemed to transform into a giant plant at this instant. Countless plant branches and leaves swayed in sync with her breathing frequency and moved with her thoughts.
This action lasted for more than half an hour before returning to normal.
The woman stood up and walked back downstairs.
In the dining room, her breakfast was already prepared.
It was a bowl of 'vegetable salad'.
Even after reaching her cultivation realm, her appetite had significantly decreased.
Especially during the cultivation of the Ten Thousand Transformations Meditation Technique, she could absorb sufficient nutrients from sunlight and oxygen.
However, the woman had developed this habit.
Although called a vegetable salad, there was no salad dressing inside; instead, various kinds of plant leaves and branches were present.
Some were edible, while others, in a strict sense, were not considered food.
By carefully tasting the flavors and structures of the various plant fibers, she could better understand her progress and her pet beast.
A habit formed over many years was not easily changed.
Unfortunately, today, the woman seemed somewhat distracted.
She had already learned about Qin Chuan incident.
Such a significant event had occurred in Linzhou, something even she couldn't have imagined.
However, since it had already happened, she was not the type to get angry or blame anyone.
Of course, now that the matter seemed to be resolved, there was no need for her to do anything.
But at this moment, she was doubting something.
This morning, after Qin Erlong and Qin Chuan called to apologize, they informed her of a piece of news.
That young man from Linzhou, a fellow named Su Ping, had an additional relative, a man named Lord Leng.
The woman was speechless.
Could it be that her words had come true? Would Qin Erlong really call again in a while to tell her that the young man was the illegitimate son of the Saint Dragon Legend? Shaking her head, the woman sighed helplessly.
However, she did not feel angry. Although she had felt a surge of anger upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, she calmed down after a while and thought that it might even be a good thing.
For Qin Chuan, this was indeed an unexpected setback in his life.
His previous efforts and the company he had built were now shattered.
But in fact, to her, that so-called 'Great Chuan Real Estate' was not even worth a second glance.
However, it had finally allowed him to settle down and also made him lose the motivation to continue dealing with the people from the Falcon Continent.
It was still better than potentially committing a huge mistake in the future.
Therefore, she did not feel angry.
What she was thinking about now was how to mend her relationship with that young man.
Previously, Qin Erlong had approved, and although Qin Xiaoxue had no objections, the woman did not pay much attention.
But now it seemed that, although the woman also felt it was very abstract, she couldn't help but raise her evaluation of the young man she had never met before.
With this in mind, the woman called Qin Xiaoxue.
"Xiaoxue, Su Ping's second pet beast, you mentioned before that it was a Necromancer, right?"
"Ah? Yeah... yeah..."
Qin Xiaoxue's voice sounded a bit guilty because, in her opinion, Su Ping had chosen that second pet beast due to her suggestion.
She had previously told Su Ping that she wanted to try cultivating the two meditation techniques in Demon City: the 'Ten Thousand Transformations' and the 'Ten Thousand Transformations Meditation Technique'.
The second pet beast should either be a pure Wood-type, plant-based pet beast, or a Necromancer pet beast.
However, this was undoubtedly against the rules.
Now, hearing the old lady suddenly asking about this matter, Qin Xiaoxue thought the other party was going to reprimand her.
At the same time, she was wondering who had told the old lady about this matter.
However, what she didn't expect was that the old lady did not scold her but instead nodded and continued with a smile:
"There's only one more month until the holidays. Don't forget to tell Su Ping at that time to come to Demon City and see the evolution of your Wood-type pet..."
"Okay, I'll tell Su Ping."
"Alright, it's fine. Go to class. Today, you'll be entering the Lin Sea Secret Realm, right? Be prepared and don't get injured."
"Yes, yes, I understand, Grandma! Don't worry!"
After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiaoxue scratched her head, a bit unsure of what the old lady meant.
At the same time, the woman who had hung up the phone continued to make another call.
Not long after, a woman walked into the dining room: "Dean."
The woman saw the visitor and smiled slightly: "Xiaoqin, help me with something. Go to Linzhou and get me something."
"Yes!"
...
In the sky, looking at the strangely shaped flying machine slowly rising, Su Ping waved his hand.
In an instant.
The Sky Splitter disappeared from the sky.
It made sense.
To be able to travel from Northern Origin to Jianghai in less than two hours.
What kind of concept was this? Therefore, looking at the disappearing Sky Splitter, Su Ping once again showed a hint of envy.
Dong Muchun, standing beside him, looked at Su Ping with a face full of envy. She said strangely:
"Stinky boy, I can't get this thing, but if you want it, you'll have to work hard yourself."
Su Ping pouted; he didn't want to think about it for the time being.
Wow, a Saint-level pet beast.
If it were that easy to achieve, Saint-level Beastmasters wouldn't be so rare worldwide, and they wouldn't hold such a high status in the Dragon Kingdom.
Since ancient times, those who have reached this level are as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
Seeing that Su Ping didn't respond, Dong Muchun wasn't bothered and sighed with envy, "Ghost Saint is truly powerful!"
"But on second thought, why did you look at me with such a strange expression before you left?"
Dong Muchun seemed to recall something and looked at Su Ping in surprise.
Su Ping felt a bit embarrassed and rubbed his nose, "Did I?"
Could it be that he demanded too much?
The problem was that Lord Leng told him to name his price.
Moreover, didn't he outright reject it later?!
Damn it!
He clearly said he could name his price, but when he mentioned a few legendary-grade pet beast cubs, not only was he rejected, but he also got hit.
Thinking of this, Su Ping felt indignant.
In the end, although he didn't gain any substantial benefits, it seemed like he had offended the other party and caused them great distress.
Is there anyone else like him in this world?
Indeed, the value of the Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal is extremely high, and judging from the eagerness of the people from the Falcon Nation, it is estimated to be very valuable.
Lord Leng did indeed give him the authority to make a bold demand.
However, aside from those unremarkable pet beast cubs, Su Ping truly didn't have any other desires.
In fact, even when faced with the legendary-grade cubs of the Holy Spirit, Su Ping wasn't overly interested.
At most, he would just talk about it.
With the Universal Codex, Su Ping was naturally not suited for those extremely high-level and special pet beasts.
He didn't have much interest in those pet beasts that were naturally divine.
Of course, if he could study them and see if he could make those pet beasts degenerate, Su Ping would be very interested.
However, using such a precious opportunity to exchange for experimental subjects with an unknown success rate, Su Ping couldn't afford to be so extravagant.
Therefore, after thinking about it for an entire morning, Su Ping couldn't think of what he should ask for.
What about soul seeds or terrifying advanced materials like the origin of sword intent?
What use would he have for them? To continue using them for the doll? There's no need for that right now!
As for Xiao Qing's evolution, he had no idea where to start, and he didn't know what materials were needed.
So, although Su Ping was prepared to make a big sacrifice, in the end, he couldn't think of what he needed.
He did need some things, such as resources to quickly improve his cultivation realm,
But, even though those resources were scarce, wasting an opportunity for them made Su Ping feel like he was at a loss.
Whether it was at the Beastmaster Association or in the Dragon Kingdom, he could exchange for those resources, so why waste this opportunity?
After much consideration, Su Ping only made a very special request.
As the saying goes, it's better to teach someone to fish than to give them a fish.
For Su Ping, a brief encounter with a precious Holy Spirit, or even a legendary-grade resource, was indeed valuable, but the help it provided to him at this moment might not be significant.
Especially when it came to the crucial aspect of improving his Beastmaster realm.
Therefore, Su Ping's condition was:
The ability to detect secret realms!
Su Ping's 'fish' was his Beast Taming Space, which usually didn't have much room for improvement.
Space-type resource characteristic: Space Absorption!
Su Ping had never forgotten about this.
For a Beastmaster, pet beasts were their combat power, but the true foundation of a powerful Beastmaster was always their Beast Taming Space.
Without a doubt, Su Ping's realm was too low, and his current Beast Taming Space couldn't nurture resources or cultivate high-level creatures.
But the future would be different.
Moreover, with the ability to absorb space, he could even absorb the residual origin characteristics from other secret realms.
By swallowing them into his own space characteristics.
For Su Ping, the potential of his Beast Taming Space with this space ability was limitless.
Unfortunately, there weren't many secret realms, making this space ability useless.
But now, there was an opportunity.
Secret realms were complex, as Lord Leng had mentioned.
Usually, secret realms were divided into renewable and non-renewable.
Renewable ones were truly precious.
The energy within the secret realm could complete a regenerative cycle, and even after the owner's death, the space characteristics and resources in the Beastmaster's space would still be effective.
Many of the Dragon Kingdom's high-level resources were produced in this way.
Typically, these secret realms could exist stably for a long time.
After all, the Dragon Kingdom and its forces would carefully preserve and maintain these secret realms.
Non-renewable ones, on the other hand, were those where the characteristics couldn't be maintained, and energy was only consumed, not replenished.
The existence time of these secret realms was uncertain. Some, like the Fendou Sword King's secret realm, would almost instantly collapse.
Others might last for a year or two, or even three to five years; it was hard to predict.
Once they appeared, Beastmasters would rush in, grab what they could, and then retreat.
If there were some dangers and the secret realm was too close to human activity areas, they would find a way to trigger an early explosion and collapse.
If there were no dangers, they would leave it alone.
Obviously, any place would treat the renewable secret realms that could continuously produce resources as treasures.
If Su Ping entered such a secret realm and started absorbing the origin characteristics, even with Lord Leng present, he would undoubtedly be killed.
But the non-renewable secret realms that Beastmasters would rush in and grab what they could were clearly different.
In this type of secret realm, it's a waste to just leave it in space without collapsing it. In the end, giving oneself a boost is not too much to ask, right?
Su Ping didn't think it was too much.
Unfortunately, the laws of the Dragon Kingdom dictate that not just anyone can enter this kind of secret realm.
More importantly, this kind of secret realm is not something that just anyone can find.
Unless it's someone like Dong Muchun, with an extremely sensitive space-type pet beast, they might be able to sense the fluctuations and locate these secret realms. Otherwise, it's like finding a needle in a haystack.
Undoubtedly, Su Ping doesn't have this kind of pet beast. Even if he did, it's only slightly better than finding a needle in a haystack.
The fastest and most convenient method, without a doubt, is to directly use official power to inquire about this kind of secret realm resource and directly provide himself with the information and the identity to enter!
That's right, this was the condition that Su Ping finally offered to Lord Leng.
So Su Ping thought. Lord Leng's last glance before leaving wasn't one of disdain for his high demands, but rather the opposite! Su Ping couldn't help but feel that people like him, who contribute to the country's development, are truly rare!
After all, Lord Leng had said that Su Ping could reach out to him if he needed anything.
This promise was even more valuable than many other things.
Shaking his head, Su Ping wondered when Lord Leng would be able to get it done.
Su Ping had always been looking forward to the development of the Beast Taming Space.
Once the Beast Taming Space is enriched, it will be able to produce some resources, which is the true foundation of a Beastmaster.
So, in the end, the saying still holds true: It's better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish.
Dong Muchun ignored Su Ping's pretentiousness.
She didn't even bother to ask Su Ping about his relationship with this person.
Instead, she spoke directly:
"Let me tell you something. Da Chuan Real Estate has been sold to our Ping Company for a total of five billion!"
"Huh? Ah?"
Su Ping looked at her in confusion.
He was well aware that Da Chuan Real Estate belonged to Qin Chuan, but he was surprised by the speed of the transaction! It had only been a day!
And five billion? That's too cheap, isn't it?
It's not just a bargain, but it's close. Not to mention the land deeds that Da Chuan Real Estate acquired in Linzhou during this period, which are worth far more than five billion.
"I didn't consult you, but I directly agreed to the sale. You won't blame me, will you?"
Su Ping gave her a strange look.
"I already said that the company's administrative power is yours."
Dong Muchun shook her head in a pretentious manner and sighed:
"That's what I'm saying, but Qin Chuan is still Qin Xiaoxue's father. If you blame me for Qin Xiaoxue's sake, I can only keep quiet."
Su Ping glanced at her with a speechless expression.
As they became more familiar with each other, this woman's true nature became more apparent.
However, Su Ping didn't say anything further.
Qin Chuan is Qin Chuan, and Qin Xiaoxue is Qin Xiaoxue. The help Qin Xiaoxue provided, especially with the creation stone, was of great significance to Su Ping. Therefore, if Qin Chuan truly had no intention, Su Ping would not take it out on others.
As for Qin Chuan herself, Su Ping had no comment.
Dong Muchun, on the other hand, had a clear purpose for her visit:
"Also, your mechanical core has been repaired!"
"Really? That fast?"
Su Ping's eyes lit up. "Did you take care of it so quickly?"
"It's just a matter for our Su Dong. What else can a mere employee like me do?"
Su Ping frowned. "Are you being difficult on purpose?"
Dong Muchun gave him a cold look and said, "This mechanical core's self-intelligence is far superior to that of a newborn mechanical pet beast."
After the mechanical weapon exploded, it used the most durable parts to withstand the impact, all while being protected by the black blood mechanical shell! Therefore, the damage was minimal. Naturally, using specialized repair methods for such items, while consuming some resources, wasn't too difficult.
Su Ping knew that it had still cost quite a bit.
However, he didn't say anything more.
Dong Muchun, with great interest, continued, "Regarding your third pet beast, if you want to choose a mechanical one, you'll need to consider carefully. Mechanical pet beasts are different from all others. Do you want me to introduce you to a mechanical beastmaster? Or should I just have Tianyun sell you some mechanical blueprints at an internal price?"
Mechanical beastmaster? Blueprints?
Su Ping scratched his head.
It had to be said that mechanical pet beasts were a luxury, and he was indeed not familiar with them.
"However, your pet beast cannot fuse with a mechanical body, so there's no need for blueprints. If you want to contract a mechanical pet beast, why choose this one? If you're interested, an awakened mechanical core is definitely a safer choice!"
Dong Muchun didn't understand Su Ping's insistence.
As expected, Su Ping held Feifei's mechanical core and shook his head with a smile, refusing, "There's no need. I didn't choose this mechanical core because of the pet beast, but I chose the pet beast because of the mechanical core."
These words left Dong Muchun stunned.
Su Ping was also surprised.
Just as he finished speaking, the Universal Codex in the depths of his soul suddenly blossomed.
Then, a new tome appeared in his mind, one that Su Ping had never seen before.
This tome glowed with a golden light.
Of course, this golden light didn't signify a Golden Legend-level tome.
It was simply because the pet beast depicted in this tome was golden.
At the same time, a response from this unfamiliar tome appeared in Su Ping's mind:
[Tome 'Golden Element Sprite' unlocked. Current Level: 1. Obtain Reward: Elementalization!]
